A capsule-filling board is made from 1" thick wood, metal or plasticwith
10 holes drilled in it.

These holes are made using a 25/64" drill and a drill press. Drill the
holes deep enough so that the top edge of the body of the capsule is flush
with the surface of the board when thecapsule body is dropped into the hole
(with the open end up).

My board required 0.895" deep holes.

Drill another hole 1/8" diameter all the way through the boardin the center of the 25/64" holes.

Using the back-end of a BIC pen, or a pencil, or a dowel of the correctdiameter
to fit into the capsule opening, pack down the shroom powder tightly. CAUTION
- if you press too hard,the capsule will break.

Once you have all 10 caps packed down, scrape up some more powder anddo it
again. Keep this up until all the powder is packed into the capsules.

Once the caps are all packed, place the caps onto the capsule bodiesand press down until some resistance is felt.

Turn the board up on its side, and using a piece of coat-hanger wire(or something
similar) push the caps out of the board by pushing the wire GENTLY into the
1/8" holes.

Press on the caps to make sure they are completely closed.

What you have now are 10 capsules filled with PRECISELY 1/2 gram ofshrooms each!

If you want, you can weigh a handful of empty caps, divide the totalweight
by the number of caps and you have the average weight of one cap. Weigh individual
stuffed caps, subtractthe average weight of one empty cap and that's how much
shroom powder the cap is holding. In my experience,caps filled using this technique
are close enough to 1/2 gram to BE 1/2 gram...

The advantages are that you'll be able to control your dosage in exact1/2 gram
increments. All the capsules will be of the same strength because you mixed
up all the shrooms during the grindingprocess. This alleviates the problem of
some mushrooms being stronger than others.

Storage: Place the capsules in a Ball or Mason jar. Fill the jar with CO2 (the
CO2 is heavier than air, so it will stay in the jar). Screw the lid on TIGHTLY
(with the rubber seal against the glass) andstore in the refrigerator. Let the
jar warm up to room temperature before opening, so there won't be any condensation.
